While the news of the moment is dominated by the dangers of violent barbarism by groups claiming to be Islamists in Africa and elsewhere, such as Boko-Haram near us in Nigeria and Cameroon. While Mali is still under threat from violent Islamists; the time is rather poorly chosen to get closer and make friends in this movement that dangerously continues to gain ground and wreak havoc wherever it is anchored.

But what are we talking about? You may be wondering; but of the recent news revealed by the Western press once again (because in Gabon lips are sealed), the issuance of a coin worth 1000 CFA francs, whose front and back show the Akhmad Kadyrov mosque, the largest in Europe.

This mosque located in Grozny, the capital of the Russian Caucasus republic of Chechnya, can accommodate up to 10,000 worshipers. It is named after Akhmad Kadyrov, a former mufti and pro-Russian Chechen president killed in a bombing in May 2004.

The legitimate question that the Gabonese people must ask, is to know why this man and this mosque deserve to be honored by our country, by the minting of memorial coin in our currency; when we know that no Gabonese person, outside the Bongos, appears on any bank note or any coin? Dear readers, this is serious! Why commemorate a building that Chechen rebels promise to destroy as having been built by Moscow in memory of a traitor leader, and position ourselves as potential enemy of the rebels in a conflict that does not concern us?

Here is the kind of action that reveals the disturbing objective of establishing a new religious order in Gabon, with the risk of dangerously getting closer to the tragic experiences that Islamism is being held responsible for in Mali, Nigeria and Cameroon, to cite examples close to home. We strongly feel that Ali Bongo is trying to place Gabon in the center of the Islamic world; something many Gabonese would prefer to stay away from, not by religious intolerance, but simply because preferring a secular environment instead of an ecumenism too present in the public sphere and likely to cause catastrophic blunders. Ali Bongo is preparing Gabon for a dangerous contagion.

The time has come for the Gabonese people to be vigilant and to say no to this approach!

While the Gabonese people dream and contemplate, while they wait for events to be imposed upon them; those who really know what our country represents for their piggy bank, are preparing to impose upon us Noureddine Bongo at the head of the country. The same people who swore they would never accept that Ali Bongo become president of Gabon, are once again ready to capitulate to what is obviously a progression towards the induction of Noureddine Bongo to replace his father Ali. Noureddine has just been replaced quietly at his deputy general manager’s position at Olam, without a new official position being assigned to him. Our informants say that following the resignation of the Issozet-Ngondet government, the king of Morocco, Mborantsuo and the French advisors, will develop a succession platform within the political apparatus of the country, allowing Noureddine to have a boulevard leading to the post of president . Meanwhile, they will have to silence all those like Jean Pin…

English version The deal between France and the US about the succession in Gabon Dear readers, we have submitted to our contacts, the reading of the visit made by the French and American ambassadors, to Marie Madeleine Mborantsuo, the President of the Gabonese Constitutional Court. Here is their opinion. 1. This visit was a demonstration that with regard to their African policies, France and the US have resolutely made a deal to help each other in their respective squares of influence. 2. France helped the USA in Libya, and the USA helped France in Mali. France plunders Francophone Central Africa, when the US does the same with the Great Lakes region through Rwanda. 3. France allows the USA to settle militarily in Cameroon and Gabon by having periodical war games with the forces of these countries; in response the USA asks their Rwandan and Ugandan pupils to normalize their relations with France. It's a give and take. 4. But why did these ambassadors visit Mborantsuo? Because for these…
